Brew 21- STELLA continues the turtle brew... slow and steady @ 14.+C

Kegged Brew 20- Olympic Moment
An Olympic event! A Gold medal performance...
Kegging the English Bitter Ale.
The previous SG confirmed our tasting that all was good BUT there was still some residule sugars/sweetness! An addition of an aquarium heater enabled us to ferment out/reactivate yeasties to completed the job.
3 days passed... SG and more tasting confirm Gold, Gold, Gold!
No need for filtering as this is a malt beer without excess hops in suspension. Plus we tilted the fermenter to enable dead yeast (RIP) to settle away from the tap.
Kegged easily, gased, regased and refrigerated. CAN'T WAIT!
Initial comments include: BALANCE, CLASSIC, FLAG SHIP (Malt)!

BrewSkot Taste Sharing
WOW, what a great beer in such a short time.
The beer was full of fizz/effervescence bubbles and working well in the glass! This resulted in a 3 finger head.
The white, with a hue of tan head held up well over time. Sitting onto of a great earthy coloured beer.
The nose/aroma was of slight malt. The taste was really refreshing, the gaseness produced an early burp or two!
We lost a bit of the taste at the back of the tongue, the taste not lingering long.
Our tastes have moved to hoppiness and if anything we would have liked more malt balanced with more hops?
We're look'n forward to sharing more tastings.

I'm IRISH- and the Irish Red (Brew 17 ) just keeps gett'n better!
This is a fantastic drop. Dark red colour, great head, crisp malt taste! Toffee and dark chocolate nose and taste. The best RED!

I'm LATE... at dry hopping our APA (Brew 18)
"Just a spoon full of hops helps the beer go down..."
20gms of SAAZ hops added at the very end of the ferment. Gotta love the SAAZ!
Our goal is to add to the aromatics, subtly with a 1gm per litre hopping... late!
Although the PURE science is flawed- 2 variable changes with no control? It will be delightful to smell & taste the result.
